Chapter 121

Sasha had asked Matthew to meet her at Cunningham Pharmaceuticals to inform him that he was made the boss of Wellness Herbary.

In fact, Matthew had no intention to take charge of Wellness Herbary because he would prefer to keep on working at the emergency department of the hospital for a longer period of time so that he could hone his medical skills and save more lives.

At that juncture, the door of Sasha’s office was kicked open by someone.

James, who looked furious, charged into the office.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” Sasha exclaimed.

James lunged toward Matthew furiously and lifted his hand to slap him.

Matthew reacted fast and dodged his hand. “Dad, what happened?” he asked anxiously.

James roared ferociously, “What happened?! I’m going to beat you to death, you shameless and dirty scumbag!”

When James was about to pounce on Matthew again, Sasha quickly jogged over and held him back just in time.

“Dad, tell me what’s going on! Why do you want to beat him up?”

With raging fury, James yelled, “Sasha, I can’t believe you’re still defending him. Do you know that you’ve already been bluffed by this scumbag?! Do you really think he has been doing everything for the good of our family? Everything he did is aimed at robbing us of our family wealth!”

Matthew, who was flummoxed, questioned, “Dad, since when did I start eyeing the assets of the Cunninghams?”

James confronted him furiously, “If you aren’t eyeing our family wealth, why did you oust me from Wellness Herbary so that you could be the boss?”

Matthew nearly spurted out blood when he heard James. Was he the one to be blamed for that?

“Dad, how can you phrase it like that? You were ousted from Wellness Herbary due to the collective decision made by the shareholders! It was those shareholders who demanded Matthew to take charge of the company! What did Matthew have anything to do with that?”

At the moment, Helen too barged into Sasha’s office and snapped angrily, “Hmph, if he had not done all those things, would we have been driven out of Wellness Herbary? What was his motive by deliberately letting us make a blunder and showing off in front of the shareholders? Can’t you see what he’s trying to do?”

Sasha was left speechless after listening to what her mother said. “Mom, Matthew reminded both of you that something was not right with the batch of Astragalus right from the beginning. In the end, both of you still made the mistake because you guys refused to listen to him! How could you say he deliberately allowed you guys to make the mistake by doing nothing to stop it? On top of that, if it wasn’t for him, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would have already been finished!”

Refusing to listen to Sasha, James and Helen went on to make a scene to force Matthew to hand over the right to take charge of Wellness Herbary.

Matthew let out a sigh after listening to their arguments for a moment. “James and Helen, I’ve got it!

Don’t worry, I won’t accept the role of managing Wellness Herbary.”

What he said calmed James and Helen down slightly but it made Sasha apprehensive. “Matthew, don’t give in to them. It was the shareholders who asked you to take charge of the company. So, no one is able to stop it from happening!” Sasha said.

Exasperated, Helen exclaimed, “Sasha, do you think you no longer have to listen to us because we’re getting old? Very well, just let him be the boss of Wellness Herbary while I’ll go and kill myself. There’s no point in staying alive since I am just an eyesore to my daughter who has started taking the side of an outsider!”

Seeing that Helen was about to create a scene, Sasha knew it was hopeless trying to defend Matthew.

At last, she had no choice but to cave in and stopped insisting that Matthew be the boss of Wellness Herbary.

Both James and Helen looked overjoyed as though they had just prevailed in a battle before they exited Sasha’s room proudly with their heads held high.

With her eyes red-rimmed, Sasha looked at Matthew and apologized to him.

Matthew shook his head and said, “You silly girl, you don’t have to apologize to me because I never had the intention to take up the job.”
